I'm getting a bit tired of drivers telling their engineers to go away, leave them alone or shut up. Like they all heard Kimi do it once and want to emulate that.

Ultimately the engineer is trying to help, so why not be a little bit polite and respectful (and NB I couldn't care less if someone uses an expletive - that's a completely different conversation).

Mercedes gets destroyed as soon as an engine is not worth 0.5s advantage over the rest. good.

Honestly though, how do you or anyone explain the Mercedes' pace today vs. yesterday?

Easy: wet/damp equals risk vs reward.
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

Are you suggesting Lewis Hamilton is risking more than Ricciardo?
That's quite interesting.

Vettel really does take after Schumi...
Except in Schumacher' ability to deal with pressure or own up to things. In everything else, ya.

To a certain degree, yes. Skill and confidence will also be part of that equation, obviously.

I don't see Hamilton going all out risking a crash, nullifying his potential points advantage, and Ricciardo driving within himself, minimising a maximum reward for a tough season.

To quote myself; i also think that the Mercedes is more aggressive on its tires, so might have a heat advantage under those particular conditions.

We noticed. It's because the Ferrari are pretty mediocre in the wet. Add to tha the botched Schumi chop and voila!
